Deep clinicopathological phenotyping identifies a previously unrecognized pathogenic EMD splice variant

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2021
Exome sequencing (ES) has revolutionized rare disease management, yet only ~25%–30% of patients receive a molecular diagnosis. A limiting factor is the quality of available phenotypic data.

An Indian family with an Emery-Dreifuss myopathy and familial dilated cardiomyopathy due to a novel LMNA mutation

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2012
Emery-Dreifuss myopathy can be associated with a cardiomyopathy and cardiac dysrhythmias. The inheritance pattern of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is X linked, whereas EDMD2 is autosomal dominant.

[A boy with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy].

No to hattatsu = Brain and development, 1995
We reported a 12-year-old boy with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EMD). He was born after uncomplicated full term pregnancy and delivery. There was neither consanguinity nor a history of neuromuscular disorders or cardiac diseases in his family. He walked at 14 months. Toe walking was recognized at age 5 years.

Muscle‐Specific Kinase Signaling and Its Therapeutic Potential

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The function of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is compromised in many neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) such as autoimmune or congenital myasthenia gravis (MG), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and muscular dystrophies.

Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Connexin Hemichannels in Muscular Dystrophies

Biomedicines, 2022
Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are a heterogeneous group of congenital neuromuscular disorders whose clinical signs include myalgia, skeletal muscle weakness, hypotonia, and atrophy that leads to progressive muscle disability and loss of ambulation.

Multiscale Architecture and Mechanics of the Cell Nucleus: Implications for Disease, Bioengineering and Nanomedicine

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Nuclear mechanical properties are inherently scale‐dependent, arising from a hierarchical architecture that spans DNA, chromatin, the nuclear envelope, and condensates. Experimental techniques and theoretical models are integrated into a cohesive multiscale framework linking nanoscale structural features to organelle‐level mechanical behavior.

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy: anatomical-clinical correlation (case report) [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2000
We report on a man that had weakness of humeroperoneal distribution associated with limited range of motion of the cervical spine and elbows since he was 5 years old . At age 26 he developed tachycardia episodes.

Congenital Myopathies and Muscular Dystrophies: A Single Tertiary Center Experience and Factors Associated With Long‐Term Outcomes

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 121-130, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Data on respiratory, feeding, ambulatory outcomes and prognostic factors for congenital myopathies (CM) and congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD) remain limited. Therefore, in this study, we report the characteristics of a large single‐center cohort of patients with CM and CMD, focusing on long‐term outcomes and aiming to ...

Single Cell Mechanics in Disease Progression

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2026.
Cells transmit distinct mechanical forces through ECM adhesion and cell–cell junctions and actomyosin‐generated traction forces are transmitted to the substrate through integrin‐based focal adhesions. Mechanical signals are further transmitted to the nucleus via the LINC complex, connecting the cytoskeleton to the nuclear lamina. These forces integrate

Generation of a lamin A/C knockout human induced pluripotent stem cell line (ZJULLi007-A) via CRISPR/Cas9

Stem Cell Research
Lamin A/C is a protein encoded by the LMNA gene and belongs to the nuclear lamina protein family. Mutations in the LMNA gene lead to several diseases: Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partial lipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy ...
